How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

The one review here is glowing: it's simple, effective, no settings to wade through, and the visitor-facing curtain is just a normal editable page, with the only ask being a way to rename that page.

   I found this plugin via a post from Jos on Mastodon, installed it and a few minutes later I was sold. This is so simple and so effective. No settings, no menus. And I love that the curtain for visitors is just an ordinary page to be edited in the editor. Only idea for improvement: make it possible to rename the page. At the moment the plugin looks for the slug almost-ready-temporary. But that would probably mean a settings page, so I’m not sure it’s worth it. Conclusion: I have tried several Coming Soon plugins, and all of them were either overkill or commercialized or both. So the simplicity of Almost Ready Temporary Page is a welcome change. It feels like a little Zen Garden compared to the Las Vegas style other Coming Soon plugins. Thanks. This topic was modified 3 months, 1 week ago by Peter Müller.
